Synopsis

Anorexia, characterized by an extreme fear of eating and gaining weight, is currently the most lethal mental illness in the UK, affecting approximately one in 250 women. In this documentary, Louis Theroux immerses himself in two of London's largest adult eating disorder treatment centers: St Ann's Hospital and Vincent Square Clinic. As he spends time with patients both on and off the wards, he observes the profound and dangerous influence anorexia exerts over them, and becomes involved in the intricate dynamic between the disorder and the individuals it affects.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 9

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
